 People |
More than one-third of the country's 32 million people live in Buenos Aires, the capital, which along with other urban areas, accounts for almost 90% of the total population.
Argentina's culture has been greatly affected by its immigrant population, mostly European. Their influence contributed to the demise of pre-Columbian cultures, resulting in the lack of a dominant indigenous population.
Buenos Aires is a big melting pot of all of these cultures and has been receiving immigration from other Latin American countries, mainly from Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay.
Today, the principal remaining indigenous peoples are the Quechua of the northwest, and the Mapuche in Patagonia. Other marginal groups include the Matacos and Tobas in the Chaco and some northeastern cities.
